Small Update with a rather cosmetical change:

Germanicu5 is now 'officially' in the team, mainly responsible for scripting tasks.

In fact he has has always been a part of the team, so this was just a logical credits correction. Thanks and welcome mate! :)

Hi guys!!!

first of all, I really want to apologise for my very long absence, for not being able to reply to all the pms or threads and for not answering so many important questions.
The reasons are, as so often in life, manifold, but I just want to say that many personal and other important things have happened short after the release of TATW 3.1 and in the whole last year, so that I had to completely shift my attention away to be able to manage the new situations.

However, be assured that I'm fine and, as someone already found out, my latest status update is that I'm working for The Lordz games studios where I have the chance and the luck to work on some very cool projects! ;)

Of course, I have one sad and streaming eye, because obviously TATW is currently completely on hold while my heart still beats hard for it!
I can't tell you when, how or what, but I know the last release was not the last thing that I did for TATW, I'm pretty sure the dream of this mod has not completely ended yet. :smile:
I'm actually still browsing the forums very often and I will definately try to post at least from to time on important subjects.

Finally, I really want to heartily thank the whole community and sub modders for keeping TATW still so alive! Also a big thanks for all moderators who still hold the line and who are keeping the kind order here!!!! Thanks so much everyone!! Was good to post something here again... :smile:


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Now to a long overdue general update on some sub-modding rules, where I got remembered by several forum members here. Really thanks for the slight kick in the ass guys! :smile:
Since I probably know only a few parts of the main submodding and permission questions, I'll try to express a:

General sub-mod guideline
You are allowed to edit any content of TATW and to release it as a sub-mod, under following conditions:
- You do not claim edited original content as your own created work
- You stick to the rules that apply to LL's High Elves
- You don't release your sub-mod as a stand-alone mod that doesn't require the installation of TATW.

I hope that this guideline answers the most questions and I think it makes pretty clear what you can and what you cannot do with your sub-mod. If there are still open questions please pm me (with a clear title that it is about permission issues) and I will see to update this guideline then.

Thank you so much for everything King Kong!

Super-con' gratulations again King Kong, we're so proud of you :D

Whenever you return to do anything with TATW we will await it breathless, and we thanks a lot for the support provided to keep on modding till then!


Whatever you have embarked on now, we trust it will be splendid, and all in all we can now scream like fangirls a bit over this long awaited Return of the King Kong's "Hi guys!!!" :)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Glad everything is alright.

Take care.

Sweet! :D

Good luck with your future projects!

Good luck in your future endeavors KK, thanks for everything.

Better late than never.

Always late...

Anyway, the suffering is over.

Thanks King Kong.

Congrats and good luck to you KK. All the best, and most importantly - stability.

Thanks KK, this change of policy was really needed :)

Congratulation on your new position at Lordz Games and thanks for the update.

The rules for the Easterlings say you can't use them without permission. You're saying the content can be altered without permission. I don't get it.

Great to see you back, KK! No need to apologize. You returned when we needed you the most! It reminded me of Gandalf at Helms deep!
To tell you the truth, I fully believed you would never return again.
Now we will have our submod community flourishing again based on your great creations.
Thank you for this great gift to the community!
And once again congratulations for joining the Lordz. Pls, post info on your games here to keep us updated, man.

I'm pretty sure he means, for his stuff, his rules and for DG's stuff, DG's rules.

Welcome back KK(!) and congratulations on/for joing "The Lordz Game Studio". I'd like to thank you for helping and creating this awesome mod! :D

Thanks for the best mod in the world, to date (and probably forever) Congratulations and good luck in your new job!

I wish you the best of luck Kingkong! Please keep us informed over future titles that you will help to release!

KingKong's new policy counts for everything made by KingKong. For the Easterlings DG's policy still counts because that is his work.

:cheer:

Thanks KK. These new rules are fantastic. :thumbsup2

Congratulations and good luck in the new position! Thanks for all the hard work here (personally, 90% of all my TW play time is related to either SS or TATW), and kudos to you for inspiring so many talented modders who continue working on TATW and its submods. All the best!
